The Pennsylvania Railroad New YOrl,
and Chicago Limited Composed of
the New and Magnificent Pullman
VeAtibuled Cars.

SniCd&O Llu1lte0 COMPOSED nj
the New and Magnificent PuIIman
Vestibuled Cars.
The new and luxurious Pullman vestibuled Cars
will be placed in service ON the New York and
Chicago Limited, OF the Pennsylvania Railroad
commencing June Is.
These cars, the latest production OF the Pull
man Palace Car Company, and the exemplitica-
OF the car builder, will take the place of the Ordi
nary Pullman Sleeping Cars with which this train
mas heretofore been equipped They combine every
provementS which have never before been EN-
ployed In car construction. Under the new ar.
and are merged into one elongated coach which
contains every convenience a traveller cOi1Id find
IN the pest MOTEL The coaches may be said to be
n1catiOn between them.
This desirable result is obtained by the use of
veStibuleS. -
The vestibules are formed by enclosing the Mat
forms. The ends OF the platforms are fitted with
Droad, thlck frames OF steel extending from floor
10 roof and supported by strong elastic pressure
derived from springs. When the cars are con-
| nected these frames press tightly against each
close contact throughout the entire Surface.
BY this means wonderful steadiness OF motion
Is obtained, while there is sufficient fexibty at
points OF contact TO enable the train to round
| curves The additional ease secured is a great
point but greater still is the protection against
teieocoping In case OF collision, which the bower.
ful steel frames afford Sheets of rubber cover the
junction points, and oppose an unbrOken Obstruc-
ZION 10 the entrance OF wind dust or rain The in

through the door he is not only In the car but in
tne lra!n. Passengers may pass from car to car
WITHOUT exposure TO danger or weather, and with
I9e same facility as they could pass down the aisle
Many innovations have been added to the equip

midst of these strange surroundings There
Is something really sublime in the serene i'll

regarding all other tongues just as they do

stupid obstacles bound to melt quickly away

The result Is that to them, travel in Europe
means little more than a succession of Ameri-
can hotels, American exchanges, American
newspapers, American churches tarely), and

makers, etc, etc. There are hundreds Of our
countrylnen who have lived in Paris for
years past, and who today know no more
French than the boarding school n,ss vino

confined to the "Amrrirnn colony They
may pretend otherwise in their letters home,
